How We’re Run

The Students’ Union’s work is driven by a vision of students at the heart of everything at York. As a registered charity that’s made up of elected student representatives, YUSU is an entirely independent organisation with a range of mechanisms to ensure students’ opinions steer our work.

YUSU is dedicated to ensuring members have the best University experience and improving the lives of students at the University of York by:

Championing the interests and welfare of students

Representing students’ interests to the University of York

Providing social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities and forums for discussion and debate for the personal development of its students.
